Speaking about making his solo debut, Van William himself explains “As a writer and singer, I’ve never been able to be that subtle with my songs. I grew up on Fugazi and Plastic Ono Band, ‘The Lonesome Crowded West’, and ‘On The Beach’. Songs that scream hooks from deep down and get into every crevasse of your ear canals. It sounds cliché as fuck, especially when inserted right in the middle of a press release, but it’s also very true: this is it. You might hate it or love it, but this is what I can do and need to share. These songs sound exactly like I feel – restless, reeling, heartbroken and pissed about whatever this country is, and ready to burst”
